Jersey legal services for medical negligence
Medical treatment is something most people rely on with trust and expectation. When that treatment falls short, whether in a hospital, clinic, or dental practice, the consequences can be serious. If you or someone close to you has suffered harm due to a medical or dental error, you may be entitled to compensation under Jersey law.
At Parslows LLP, we support individuals who have experienced medical or dental negligence. Our team provides clear, practical advice to help you understand your rights and take the right steps to make a claim. We act for clients across a wide range of cases, including hospital care, general practice, surgical procedures, and dental treatment.
Medical negligence occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care expected, and that failure causes injury or harm. This could involve a misdiagnosis, a delay in treatment, a surgical error, or being given incorrect medication. Dental negligence may include poor dental work, failure to diagnose or treat oral conditions, or injury caused during a procedure. These situations can be distressing and confusing, especially when you are still dealing with the effects of the injury.
We understand that making a claim can feel overwhelming. That is why we take the time to listen to your experience, explain your legal position, and guide you through the process. We begin by reviewing your medical or dental records and any other relevant documents. From there, we assess whether the care you received fell below the expected standard and whether that caused your injury.
In Jersey, medical and dental negligence claims are based on the principle of duty of care. To succeed, you must show that the provider owed you a duty, that they breached that duty, and that the breach caused you harm. Our team works with independent experts where needed to support your case and ensure that your claim is properly presented.
Compensation can help cover the costs of further treatment, lost income, and the impact the injury has had on your daily life. Every case is different, and we work with you to make sure your claim reflects your individual circumstances. Our goal is to help you move forward with the support you need.
Where possible, we aim to resolve claims through negotiation, helping you avoid the stress and cost of going to court. However, if legal proceedings are necessary, we will represent you in the Royal Court, depending on the value and complexity of the claim. We ensure that your case is prepared thoroughly and that you are supported at every stage.
